RESUMO – Este estudo investigou a eficácia da Lei Egípcia de Doenças Transmissíveis – Lei 152 de 2021 –, que buscou regular procedimentos e medidas necessárias para combater a propagação de epidemias e pandemias, bem como suas implicações para a prática jornalística e a liberdade de imprensa no Egito. O estudo foi sustentado pela “Teoria da Censura do Estado”. O estudo utilizou entrevistas em profundidade, que foram feitas com 30 jornalistas egípcios.
